Three Phases

Models are expected to present near real life situations and possible effects on the deliverables based on given input environment. However, models do not necessarily indicate the true solutions and provide scope to work on them incrementally. As discussed earlier, organizations may not follow similar paths to acquire IT and may not even derive desired results despite adopting one. This chapter considers it important to include IS as critical input to managing IT acquisition life cycles and delves further into the IT life cycle management principles to conceptualize a model to specific contributions to assess organizational preparedness for IT acquisitions. This model largely includes discussions on IS centric models and argues in favour of assessing the preparedness across three phases, pre-acquisition, acquisition, and post-acquisition. Each phase considers specific inputs with expected deliverables for successful assessment of the preparedness of the organization in that phase.

Abstract Background This study aims to explore the information chain management model of large instrument and equipment inter-working in the operating room (OR) led by information nurses. Methods Through the chain management process of large instruments and equipment in the OR, which was based on information nurses, the management model of inter-working and integrating information chain was established, the key links were controlled, and the whole life cycle management of instruments and equipment from expected procurement to scrapping treatment was realized. Using the cluster sampling method, 1562 surgical patients were selected. Among these patients, 749 patients were assigned to the control group before the running mode, and 813 patients were assigned to the observation group after the running mode. The related indexes for large instrument and equipment management in the department before and after the running mode were compared. Results In the observation group, the average time of equipment registration was (22.05 ± 2.36), the cost was reduced by 2220 yuan/year, and the satisfaction rate of the nursing staff was 97.62%. These were significantly better, when compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the awareness rate of the whole staff for equipment repair application was 95.12%, and the arrival time of maintenance personnel and the examination and approval time of equipment management were greatly shortened (P < 0.05). Conclusion The integrated management model of large instrument and equipment interworking in the OR based on chain flow realizes the whole life cycle management of instruments and equipment, which is essential to improve management efficiency.

Ageing, life cycle management and collective labour agreements Ageing, life cycle management and collective labour agreements Solutions for issues with respect to ageing are often searched for in Collective Labour Agreements (CLA). This article investigates the necessary conditions for concluding arrangements for ageing in a CLA. First the influence of government on the degrees of freedom of social partners is explored from the viewpoint of institutional economics. Next, the theoretical conditions are mapped that negotiating parties in companies can develop themselves, from the perspective of transaction costs, agency or stewardship. The various approaches are illustrated with some facts about Dutch CLAs. It appears that the management of individual life cycles is more appropriate as a concept than the issue of ageing. In a survey of 564 Dutch CLAs the aspects of a life cycle approach are listed. In the discussion the limitations of the present analysis are reviewed, the conditions are summarized, possibilities for further research are indicated. The conclusion is that under certain conditions the CLA can contribute to the management of one’s life course.

House Building

With the development of economy and the improvement of living standards, people pay much attention to quality of dwellings rather than quantity. What is more, the traditional house building method is inefficient and the poor quality cannot meet the demand of the market. Therefore, a new architecture building method, prefabricated housing appears and the management method also needs to be changed. This article analyses the features of prefabricated housing in order to build a new management model for Chinese prefabricated housing. The theory of life cycle management is chosen to manage this new building mode. The technology of BIM and mass customization strategy are treated as basic theories to support this essay. Det Ljuva Livet is used as an example to prove that the life cycle management of prefabricated housing is reasonable and feasible.

Broad Understanding

It is noted that modeling techniques envisage capturing the inputs, processes, and the deliverables in an agreed environment. The modeling process argues in favour of measurements and establishing certain standards to validate the outcomes. Therefore, it is important to establish methods for validation of the model. This chapter discusses a framework for the assessment of preparedness in each phase of the model with support from various existing models associated. It includes broad understanding of the whole gamut of the challenges related to IT acquisition preparedness exercise across all the phases. Goal-Question-Metrics (GQM) principles are adopted to validate various hypotheses developed to assess phase specific deliverables. This process is described in detail to appreciate the cyclic behavior of the assessment model conceptualized for an IT acquiring organization. It is also indicated that this framework can be used at any point in the acquisition life cycle.

Testing Conditions

When one faces the need to plan a climatic test (temperature, temperature-humidity, rain, solar radiation etc.), several options are available. The most frequently implemented option is the use of standards. Often, the use of standards leads to testing programs that do not reflect the system's life cycle, or that prevent differentiating between systems with different life cycles. This is true even for standards that implement the tailoring philosophy. How can climatic tests be tailored to reflect true life time such as 10,000 hours or 100,000 hours? A methodology that makes use of physics-of-failure principles and empirical models provides a more realistic solution to this problem. Using empirical models to describe the environmental loads, and damage accumulation models under different loads, the effects of real life can be simulated and compared with the effects of the simulated testing conditions. The paper describes the use of this methodology. Empirical models are used to describe diurnal thermal and humidity cycles. An empirical model of temperature distribution is applied to determine the duration of exposure to varying temperature during a given life cycle. Several damage accumulation models under cyclic thermal loads are compared. One is a general power model with changing exponents for different materials. An additional model relates to the behavior of solder joints. The application of the models is compared for two different conditions, one for which the different daily temperature changes are considered, and one for which monthly average temperature changes are used to describe the daily conditions for a certain month. To evaluate temperature-humidity tests, models that describe corrosion damage under temperature-humidity and humidity penetration models are implemented to evaluate the effects of the testing conditions, relative to the real life. The advantages and problems in the implementation of the methodology are discussed in the summary of the paper.
